Chapter 1114: Chapter 170: Two Knight Orders and the “Surprise” from Philis (Part 3)

Despite the lack of exaggerated adornment, her appearance itself brought a strong visual impact. That pure white hair and coldly incomparable features stood out especially amidst the solemn knight array and the dignified backdrop of the Lord’s mansion.

From the crowd came several low, suppressed gasps, clearly awed by the suddenly revealed striking beauty.

A glimmer of surprise was also evident in Su Li’s eyes but was soon replaced by incredulity. The description in Philis’s letter of "able to ignite the cold hearth" at this moment had a very direct correspondence.

This is... the surprise Philis sent?! A woman for me?!

Hilude hummed indifferently and chuckled, "Philis is truly thoughtful. Is she worried we won’t take good care of the Lord? She sent a beauty from the Sulande Province over a thousand miles. But it does match their Province’s characteristic of producing beauties."

More than just matching!

The beauties from Sulande Province are renowned across the world! Essentially, the most top-tier beauties all come from Sulande Province.

This beauty’s appearance is simply breathtaking, unmatched in elegance.

Even Aeliria, who is always extremely confident in her own beauty, felt a twinge of jealousy. This is a beauty even her Illusion Technique had never transformed into, so exquisitely perfect that ordinary people can barely dream of it.

Even the transformation of Sadistic Desire Demon pales in comparison to this beauty.

While the crowd was either stunned or gossiping, the white-haired woman directly stepped off the carriage and approached Su Li, bowing slightly, her movements elegant and flawless, like a textbook of court etiquette. Her voice was like a clear stream flowing over jade, carrying a distinct cool quality, neither warm nor cold: "Good day, Lord. Prince Philis refers to me as "surprise," a style she consistently follows. My name is Ilya Silverglow." She paused, then added, in a calm and steady tone, "You may simply call me Ilya."

"According to the instructions of Her Highness Prince Philis and High-tier Attendant Chief Avril, I will act as your personal maid, attending to your daily needs, just like Avril."

Like Avril?

Su Li instantly took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling: "Do you really know Avril’s past?"

He was just a naive young man when he first traversed here, researching every way with Avril, the first beauty servant in his life.

It was on Avril that he learned about the body and allure of the opposite sex.

Though at Bauhinia Castle, he couldn’t possess her purity, but aside from that, he acquired everything about Avril. At that time, he was practicing at double speed.

And to help him relieve training stress, when he faced insurmountable pressure as an Apprentice Knight, Avril exhausted every method to help ease his pressure.

Her soft body, there wasn’t a part Su Li hadn’t claimed.

And on the first night away from Bauhinia Earl’s Territory, Su Li took all of her, making her his woman.

A faint blush appeared on Ilya’s fair face, her tone unconsciously weakened, she said softly, "Avril personally trained me for three months on how to serve you, Lord, and your various... preferences."

Su Li could almost imagine that when Avril trained her, she certainly used the word preference, otherwise Ilya wouldn’t have said it.

Wasn’t he fond of beautiful legs?

Those plump, fair, supple, rounded girlish legs, who wouldn’t like them?

Though this isn’t suitable for discussing publicly, he waved his hand and said to Hilude, "You arrange for them to settle first. Especially these two orders of knights, make sure they’re accommodated."

Hilude also withdrew his gaze from Ilya’s remarkable beauty, then said to Su Li, "Lord, we’ve already prepared their camp with the Provincial Affairs Council during these days. However, the number far exceeds our expectations, so settling them won’t be easy."

Exceeds expectations is no exaggeration, as Su Li and Hesse Territory initially assumed it was one Knight Order, at most one or two thousand people.

While such a large increase is indeed a challenge, Hesse Territory has developed quickly over the last two years. Don’t underestimate Su Li’s current title as merely a Pioneer Knight, as the territory has the strength of a standard Baron!

His title is low only because it’s not yet the time for the first imperial assessment. But this is close; now it’s late autumn and early winter, the assessment officials are expected soon, possibly next month or in two months.

Given the stable state of the territory, it’s but a snap of the fingers.

Thus, with the strength of Su Li’s Baron’s Territory, accommodating these 1000 people poses no significant issue.

But as the situation became clear, the scale needing accommodation far exceeded what Hesse Territory prepared!

It’s not merely one Knight Order arriving! Instead, both a Church Knight Order and a Secular Knight Order.

The Scroll Knight Order, don’t be fooled by its unremarkable name; they’re actually a renowned Knight Order within the Empire, tasked with protecting centers of knowledge and priests, and often retrieving lost knowledge in perilous regions. They even cover their armor with scrolls containing cherished knowledge and inscriptions.

It is said they have a stronghold in the northern foothills of the Gray Mountain Range (which spans the mountainous region within the Empire, not in Border Prince’s Territory). The members of this Knight Order deeply distrust dwarves, finding them to be unenlightened and lacking in respect for knowledge.
